Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the 27 April 2022 meeting between the Bahraini Minister of Interior, Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah AlKhalifa, and the UK Ambassador to Bahrain, Roddy Drummond, if he will publish a list of the positions of Government officials in attendance at that meeting.

Officials and ministers have regular discussions with their Bahraini counterparts on a range of issues, including human rights. We continue to follow and regularly discuss the cases of Dr Abduljalil al-Singace, Hassan Mushaima, Mohammed Ramadhan, Husain Moosa and others with the Bahraini Government as well as with the independent oversight bodies. We continue to encourage those with concerns to raise them directly with the relevant oversight bodies.
